A delicious and filling side salad, perfect with fish, or even on its own, for a light dinner or lunch if you have over indulged.

Rocket (arugula), is one of the most nutritious green vegetables around, rich in folates, vitamin K, magnesium and iron and its distinctive peppery taste will add texture to the simplest of the salads. Tomatoes are rich in vitamin A, anti-oxidants and vitamin C. Chickpeas on the other hand, add filling power and good qualities vegetable proteins, important to keep you fuller for longer.It is incredible how you can get so much nutrition in a such a simple salad!

Preparation time 5 min

Ingredients (serves 2)

Rocket, 1 bag 90 g

1/2 can of chickpeas (drained)

2-3 medium salad tomatoes

10-15 black pitted olives

1-2 shallots, finely sliced

good quality, extra-virgin olive oil

a sprinkle of Balsamic vinegar

a pinch of oregano (dried)

a sprinkle of lemon juice

a pinch of sea salt

Simply place all the ingredients in a salad bowl, season and serve. I would suggest a nice fresh grilled mackerel on the side or some white fish like hake, smoked haddock or anything that come up to your mind.

If you like to eat a small slice of bread with it, we would suggest a slice of Poilane sourdough rye sliced bread, filling and tasty (rye do contains gluten, please choose a gluten-free bread variety, if you want this meal to be gluten-free).

Originally written for the monthly issue of ABC Economic, this easy to make and light pasta recipe is full of spring vegetables just straight from the British garden.

With its content of vegetables and only 65 g of egg pasta ( which is high in proteins), this dish is delicious, filling and satisfying, great with a crispy glass of white wine.

I advice to use De Cecco pasta for this recipes as it has an excellent taste, has an high eggs content, and can stored for a long time, minimizing grocery shopping time.

Asparagus and leeks are rich in Vitamin K,folate, vitamins B, manganese, and other trace nutrients, and are particular rich in a fibre called inulin, that act as a pre-biotic, for a healthier gut.

130 grams of dried eggs tagliatelle

1 bunch of asparagus

1-2 leeks

extra virgin olive oil

Grana padano cheese to taste ( optional)

Sea salt

Wash and finely slice the leeks, and put them in the non-stick pan with some olive oil. Let them sweat at low heat for a few minutes. In the meantime cook the washed asparagus for 4-5 min in boiling water, then chop them up and add them to the leeks. Keep on sweating the vegetables for a further 5 min, adding a little water if necessary. Cook the pasta in boiling water according to the packet instructions, and when ready add it to the pan with the vegetables, and stir it well, adding some freshly grated Grana Padano cheese. Serve and enjoy!
